If I lived here, I'd be here everyday. Small, intimate Cafe with good music and exceptional eggs benedict featuring roasted pumpkin and kale seasoned with an exotic olive oil and tarragon blend. I'll never be able to recreate this in my kitchen. Highly recommend! read more

I love that there are so many nice vegan friendly restaurants here in Barcelona, and Teresa Carles is one of those spots. I previously ate at their sister restaurant Flax & Kale and found that experience to overshadow my time at Teresa Carles. I was definitely familiar with many of the overlapping menu items and decided to go with their rotating lunch special for that day's meal. I started with their gazpacho which was flavorful and a nice treat on a hot summer day. Afterwards I received my vegan kebab which I found a bit underwhelming. The pita felt too soft and there wasn't much of the actual soy meat they used compared to the condiments. It felt more like a TVP crumble on top of soft bread. I did enjoy the vegan pudding dessert to end the meal however. Since I was leaving on a flight, I did end up ordering one of their veggie burgers and fries to go, and I found that to be much tastier than the kebab that I had at the restaurant. Despite the 'okay' lunch, I still enjoyed the experience and am glad there's an extensive vegan scene here in the city. read more

This was recommended to us by someone who worked at our hotel whose brother is a vegetarian. We got there on a Friday night and we were seated right away. We had the taco combination and all three were very good. My favorite was the KFC taco. We also had the Mango and Cashew ice cream which was very good. Nice restaurant inside and not too noisy. read more

I was very much looking forward as this one of highly rated, reviewed, and referred restaurant particularly for vegetarians. Ambiance was ok, nothing to write, service was ok too. But the dishes were disappointing, not only that the ingredients used like the vegetables were old and there was nothing to add any flavor either be it the sauce or the base. Not to mention, I had discomfort after the meal, old potatoes? One thing that is good is that all the dishes' presentation was killing, that's about it. But for me me that is secondary or don't even care about it! If it is not backed by taste. read more

I was excited to try this place after seeing all the great reviews so I made a reservation. It wasn't that busy but they decided to seat us all the way in the back room in a a corner. Didn't have much of a vibe due to that but the main room seemed nice. The wine list by the glass is limited and disappointing with wines that were sub par. The menu was extensive with many kinds of dishes many of which were good examples of local fair. We ordered a few things. The croquettes which were good but wish they were served with sauce. The caesar salad was uninteresting. The paella was disappointing. But the meatball and egg dish was pretty good although bland. I will say the service was good and overall we had a nice experience but the food lacked flavor. read more

This place is a MUST if you are vegan or love vegan food. Probably the best vegan spot in Barcelona in my opinion! I came here for my birthday and it was the best decision ever! Think of this as a unique fine dining vegan experience. So many great flavors, wide variety of dishes from the tapas to the main course to the the dessert. I got to try so many items because it's affordable and worth it. Some of the dishes I had were the housemade croquettes (try all 3), kale chips, leek salad, Jerusalem hummus, eggplant rolls, & finished it off with a chocolate cake! The ambiance is so delightful with soft lighting and open space. There's even a cute bakery section in the with treats and fresh juices. The staff were busy but very helpful and kind. Food was constantly coming out in time. Excellent service. You will not regret coming here. read more

In Barcelona for a conference, we were less focused on tourist stops (or so we thought, except that we went to museums, etc.) A coworker who is from Catalunya suggested vegan/ vegetarian restaurants and we ended up going to Teresa Carles. So impressed that we went two straight nights... and the gentleman host recognized us. Either embarrassing or flattering, we enjoyed the second meal at least as much as the first time. read more

I had lunch at Teresa Carles with a friend, and we both had fairly high expectations based on the positive reviews and recommendations from others. Our meal here was alright, but didn't quite live up to expectations. For starters, my friend has a nut allergy, and the waiter wasn't terribly helpful with helping her figure out what she could order. (The service in general wasn't great.) The menu had an extensive selection of fresh juices with ingredients that sounded delicious. I ordered one, and was disappointed to be handed a bottle of juice, rather than fresh juice in a glass, that didn't even have all the ingredients listed on the menu. We ordered a few starters which were all enjoyable, especially the plant-based bomba de la Barceloneta. The croquettes were pretty good too. I also ordered the paella, and before ordering, I asked if it was made with brown rice, because vegetarian places tend to do that and I don't like brown rice paella. They said it was not brown rice, so I went ahead and ordered it, but then they brought out paella with brown rice anyway. I'm not sure if they fully understood the difference between brown rice vs. white rice so that may have just been lost in translation. Overall, this place is fine, but the menu isn't quite accurate, and it didn't live up to the hype. There are several other vegetarian restaurants in Barcelona that I heard great things about, and those might be better. read more

For being in the land known for meat and cheese, Barcelona has some surprisingly great vegan options and Teresa Carles was by far the best sit down restaurant meal I enjoyed while exploring this city. The restaurant itself is very chic and if you're looking for a more intimate and relaxed environment you'll find it here among the brick and the soft lighting. It's a step above casual, so this would make for an excellent choice for a dinner date or a celebratory meal. Table service can be hit or miss in Spain since most restaurants force-tip themselves into the bill by charging patrons a "service fee," but here the service was noticeably fantastic. Also, if you want/need the comfort of an English speaking server and menu, they will seat you in a section that accommodates. The food was stellar. We split several vegan options (the menu is very clear in its labels) and all were delicious to both our eyes and tastebuds. We started with the Bomba de Barceloneta, which I can now confirm was my absolute favorite tapa that I encountered while traveling around Spain. It was savory perfection and I would have been more than happy to make a full meal out of a few more of those. This tapa is not to be skipped! We also enjoyed the Eggplant Rolls, which I plan on recreating back home because they were simple but rich in flavor. If you like eggplant I would highly recommend ordering these. The Spaghetti All Aglio Nero (Black Garlic Spaghetti) was a big hit as well. Down to the last noodle, it was well balanced and quite tasty. The only less than amazing dish we tried happened to be dessert. The Guilt-Free Choco Cake was decent, but a little on the dry side. Other people rave about it, so maybe ours was just a fluke. All in all if you want to have a memorable vegan/vegetarian meal in Barcelona make sure this restaurant is at the top of your list! read more

Amazing vegetarian and some vegan food. This was possibly my favorite meal in Barcelona. I'd been dairyed out and subsequently felt the heaviness of it, so it was nice to have a break with some lighter but deeply flavorful food. Came here for dinner with a friend and we shared bites from the "to nibble" section. The croquette assortment is insanely good and full of flavor. The funghi croquette was my favorite. We also shared the classic tomato bread which I would've preferred to not be multigrain and it would've been better toasted. The Teresa bravas were awesome and probably the best version of bravas I had. They had the traditional patatas but also added beets and roasted carrots to give a colorful, tasty twist. The vegan paella didn't feel like anything special but got better as I continued. But I did appreciate the crispy edges as a good paella is to me. The plant based scallops were also delicious. Left room for dessert with the coco chai masala ice-cream which was just okay, and the half cookie that comes with it was too dense and hard so i passed on it. Overall, excellent option for a tasty but less rich spin on Spanish cuisine. read more

Before arriving in Barcelona, I had done my homework and researched the best vegetarian and vegan restaurants in the city. I'm so glad I did! Teresa Carles has been referred to as the best vegetarian tapas places in Barcelona and it did not disappoint! Located near the university in El Raval, this restaurant seems quite popular with both tourists, locals and students. We had a reservation and were seated right away. They offer up great vegetarian tapas options and recommend sharing a few plates. This is what we ate: * Variety of croquettes (spinach & artichoke; mushroom; and I can't remember the last!) * Patatas Bravas - these were quite different than what we're used to as it was kind of "gloppy". But it seems that's quite common as the way it is served. The potatoes and root vegetables were delicious though * My husband ordered a vegan "seafood" paella and I ordered a quinoa dish with vegan "Meatballs". Both were so delicious though the paella kind of stole the show. It made like a risotto but then had onion rings to resemble the calamari and it was just delicious! Overall our experience here was pretty good! The prices were pretty fare and the service was exceptional. If you are traveling to Barcelona and need a good vegan option, definitely try this place! read more

With its broad array of organic juices, an open concept prep area full of fresh produce, and an enviable location a block away from La Ramblas, this popular restaurant certainty has to be the one vegetarian restaurant in Barcelona that's closest to American in spirit, taste, and marketing mojo. I don't know who Teresa Carles Borràs is, but she has obviously established a prominent local brand in healthy lifestyle eating and drinking since she has several related businesses in operation. Jamie W. and I ended up here after a long day walking around Barceloneta and Parc de Montjuïc as the city's streets were filled with both Catalan and Spanish demonstrators. We made a reservation, but it didn't seem to matter as we were seated immediately just before the restaurant started to fill up. The menu was quite a tome to get through. Jamie loves olives, so we ordered the 3.75€ Ras el Hanut Olives, a little crock of mixed green olives marinated in olive oil, garlic, thyme, rosemary and ras el hanut, a North African spice mix (photo: http://bit.ly/2hUf4Ca). Salty but a tasty starter. We then ordered something I wanted to try, the cheekily named 12.50€ Teresa Goes to Tokyo, a big salad bowl filled with wakame gum, canons, asazuke macerated cucumber, daikon, cherry tomatoes, and golden sesame macerated tofu. It was dressed with a sauce made of rice vinegar, mirin, and soya (photo: http://bit.ly/2BeHxrh). I'm not sure if Teresa made it as far as Tokyo, but it was pretty tasty if somewhat inauthentic in its presentation. Jamie wisely stuck with an appetizer for his entree, the 10.75€ Healthy Nachos, which took the form of baked corn and spelt chips accompanied by adzuki beans stew, guacamole, fresh tomato, pimentos del padron, and vegan sour cream (photo: http://bit.ly/2An6jIJ). While it wouldn't mistake it for something served at a Mission taqueria back home in San Francisco, it was pretty satisfying and full of fresh flavors. My choice was more ambitious, the 13.50€ Portobello Freak & Do. The provocative name highlights the dish's strong umami flavors with portobellos sauteed with crimini mushrooms, snow peas, green peas, and a house-made vegan fricandó sauce. The panadera potatoes were killer in more ways than one (photo: http://bit.ly/2zXDIsj). While Jamie uncharacteristically ordered a glass of Chardonnay to wash his food down, I went for a 5.95€ bottle of Forever Young, one of their specialty juices made of carrot, pineapple, orange, grape, tumeric, lime, and Peruvian lacuma (photo: http://bit.ly/2hJp0eh). Quite a tasty elixir after a pretty filling meal. I chose it because its chief benefit was anti-aging. I can dig that. Teresa definitely knows her stuff. FOOD - 4 stars...flavorful takes on veggie dishes with an American twist AMBIANCE - 3.5 stars...a bit on the slick side with the tables crowded together SERVICE - 3.5 stars...not overly personable but not offensive either TOTAL - 4 stars...more cottage industry than cozy cafe but the food was delish read more

While visiting Barcelona, and looking for a spot for a special occasion, we stopped at Teresa Carles. This restaurant offers a great experience from the moment you walk in. The atmosphere is quite cozy, but it makes for a perfect place to enjoy a meal and have a conversation. But the real star of the experience is the food. Each of the dishes that we tried were carefully crafted, with each ingredient playing a key role, creating in the end a unique experience with every bite. This restaurant is not the cheapest in Barcelona, but if you are in the search for "upscale" vegan food, it is probably one of the best alternatives. My Criteria 5 stars: The best food I have ever had, or an excellent option given the price. 4 stars: Good food, a restaurant I look forward to trying again. 3 stars: Good food, a restaurant that I am indifferent to. 2 stars: Below average experience, will not go again. 1 stars: This restaurant should be closed. read more

Came here for breakfast. All the ingredients are fresh and locally sourced, making the dishes flavorful and super tasty/delicious. Everything is vegetarian, and even though I love meat, everything that I tried was very satisfying. The warm warp with beans, avocado, tofu and mushrooms, with a side of a grilled carrot and a fresh salad were perfect. My bf's smoothie and mushroom omelette with whole wheat toast and fruits on top was equally delicious. The portions are not big, just perfect to satisfy, preventing you from pigging out. They change the menu, so what you eat one week is gone the next. Perfect for those who like experimenting. The service is warm and fast. The space is airy and spacious with tons of natural sunlight. They are renovating the second floor with a balcony that has so many flowers that it looks like a tiny garden. Definitely recommend and will be back. read more

Believing I would have to get all my plant based protein from the contents of my suitcase while in Barcelona, I'm thrilled to find a nice, elegant place to enjoy a meal. Take your time with the menu, there is a lot to see there - if you want to try their famous sangria you need to order a whole jug but he cava is nice & goes with everything. I enjoyed the spinach croquettes but ordered the assorted- one was cheese (oops) and I didn't like the taste or texture, the mushroom ones were also a texture challenge for me - really soft/mushy. I ordered a salad thinking the croquettes would fill me up. It was delicious (escarole w beluga lentils and crispy tempeh). I made up for the calorie shortfall with the miso ginger cheesecake (v) and loved it - the blast of ginger was a pleasant surprise, beautifully presented and whatever they made the base out of was pure genius. The service was disappointing and somewhat lessened the enjoyment of my first proper sit down meal solo in Barcelona but in typical Canadian fashion, I tipped her anyway. read more

I love Teresa Carles and I've been on previous occasions with excellent customer service but our server was absolutely Terrible, she had no clue about the menu and was zero help since we wanted to order more items from the alacarte menu. The pasta was delicious and so was the zucchini soup and bread and croquettes. I thought she forgot about bravas since she didn't check on us once or say a word and I wasn't going to bother her . But after our meal ended and we were ready for desert , she got us the potatoes/ bravas which was inedible and when I told her , her response was silence. I'm patient and kind but she should be fired for her lack of interest in customers. Oh she also didn't offer to switch and charged us including tip. lol The lady sitting next to me rolled her eyes her as well. She bought the check because she decided for herself we didn't deserve desert. Server - 0/5 Teresa Carles - 5/5 read more

Excellent food, warm ambience! I had the croquettes & eggplant rolls and I'm still thinking about both of them. Great location on a side street off of Plaça Catalunya with English menus. Truly the best tapas that Barcelona has to offer, all in veggie form! I came here alone during a solo trip, based on several reviews here saying it was a great place to dine alone. Looking back, most of those reviews were for lunch, and I came for dinner. One star off because it wasn't a particularly comfortable setting to dine by myself in for dinner - no bar, no communal tables etc. I felt a little rushed by the waitress who gave me a two person table but said there was a reservation there in an hour so I couldn't stay longer than that. I'd definitely go back for the incredible food, but probably not by myself. read more

My husband and I ate dinner here while on vacation, and were in food heaven. The cold soups were elegantly flavored, and I especially loved the gazpacho soup with small diced veggies that you add yourself. We shared the eggplant rolls, which were nothing short of melt in your mouth delicious. My husband is not vegetarian but thoroughly enjoyed everything he ate! The ambiance was nice, and they were even able to accommodate us without a reservation. I recommend making an online reservation if you know in advance you want to eat here, otherwise you may not have the opportunity as they fill up. The service was wonderful and we got everything that we needed in a timely manner. I would highly recommend this spot to anyone hoping to have a tasty and healthy meal while in Barcelona. read more

Used to be good. It was our second visit within this year. Initially, I gave 5 stars, but now Teresa Carles has turned into a fast food restaurant with untasty (if tasty then meat-tasty) food!

Teresa Carles One of Barcelona's top vegan spots! Food**** This fine dining establishment in Barcelona is not to be missed by vegans AND non-vegans. The food is top notch. The shitake mushroom dish and lasagna are two of the top dishes and believe me when I say you'll taste every incredible flavor in these dishes. Atmosphere**** Quaint, quiet, and cozy. Service**** Friendly, warm, and with a smile. Price$$$ Dishes are moderately priced but on the more expensive side compared to the other vegan restaurants in Barcelona. However, it's well worth your money! read more

I'm an not a vegetarian not a vegan. I happened to have a friend in town and one of his must-eats was the restaurant Teresa Carale. We went around lunch time 2pm and it was super busy. You put your name down with the host. We waited about 25 minutes before getting seated. As I was waiting, I scanned the specials of the day. It ranges from about 10€ to 13€ NOT including drinks. The fresh pressed juices are about 8€ish. So the menu is different every week - a large variety of appetizers, entrees and desserts. We came on the 16th of the month so I posted our different selections. For appetizers: Gazpacho - large healthy portion with nectarines Salad - instead of the usual vinegarete dressing, it was a light soya mayonnaise dressing - different but loved it!! Entree - crepes stuffed with veggies. Again, huge portions and very filling. Well seasoned and the plating was beautiful. Stuffed mushroom cannelloni -3 pieces and I wish it was bigger. I'm a huge mushroom fan and this hit the spot. For dessert: Melon carpaccio with ice cream. Melon sliced thin and presented as flowers with ice cream in the middle. Melon didn't have too much flavor but the ice cream did! Pears and chocolate vegan cake - a bit dry. Tasted too healthy in fact. I would definitely come back here again for the lunch menu! Well worth it. Tip: don't expect to find soft drink here either. read more

Very beautiful place for a fancy, intimate dinner. The Teresa's bravas were delicious and the pan con tomate was too.

Amazing vegetarian/vegan restaurant with a rotating, innovative menu in flavors and design! All of the dishes are creative, combining flavors, textures, and colors to create a pleasing dining experience. It is an upscale dining place, so be prepared to pay for it as well (it's worth it). We had the Mango avocado tartare, which was AMAZING, with seaweed caviar that had amazing texture and taste. We also had the japanese mini burgers, which were warm and tasty; it tasted more of rice than the shitake or seaweed, but the mayo was delicious. We also tried the 5 layer lasanyuki, which was more of a single portion lasagne; least impressive of the 3. They also have an amazing dessert menu, which is worth trying! read more

Delicious vegetarian restaurant. Loved the veggie paella and artichoke croquettes. Italian salad was also v tasty. Would definitely go back!

We came across this place after visiting the MACBA, and it just so happened to be the most popular and most reviewed vegetarian eatery on Yelp Barcelona! Teresa Carles is a fantastic chef. Her food is outstanding and full vegetarian. You won't find any meat or fish at this restaurant, but never fear, her food is so delicious that you will probably want to become a vegetarian full time (still working on this!). We first ordered a plate of six croquettes to share - each was filled with a different flavour combination and all had that 'melt in your mouth' WOW factor. We then devoured our main dishes - the Seitan burger with french fries and the Red pesto pappardelle pasta. I highly recommend you try out Teresa Carles - her food is nothing like you have ever tasted before!!! Recommended dish: croquettes - out of this world! read more
